    1. Infinite positive-effects-only wishes (what I consider to be positive)

    2. Everyone now has empathy and selflessness, eliminating corruption, greed, stepping over each other, exploitation, etc.

    3. Post-scarcity society, eliminating class even more than the above, since everyone can own whatever they want. Basically a real life Replicator.

    4. Since I got infinite wishes, given number 3, society will have an even bigger trash problem than we already have. So a convenient, self-contained black hole we can put trash into, inventing a method of creating dark matter, revolutioning how we store energy, Futurama-style, which then becomes free due to post-scarcity.

    5. Healthy planet, healthy people, healthy animals, plants, etc. Also includes mental health (infinite wishes are nice)

      A replicator solves the trash problem, you just throw the trash in the replicator and it breaks it down to build stuff.

      I choose you to get the wishes. Your list is my list. I don’t wish for immortality - since I had kids, I’m disqualified. But 10x the lifespan with hundreds of years feeling like I do now, that would be nice, and with the replicator technology (who will get the manual on how to service these) the carrying capacity of the earth should be higher.
